Title:
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION TRANSPARENT DEVICE AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005020791
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A medical device includes a pattern of electrically conductive material. The pattern of electrically conductive material has an anti-antenna geometrical shape such that the anti-antenna geometrical shape substantially prevents the medical device from creating an imaging artifact and/or substantially allows imaging of a volume within the medical device. The pattern may be formed by multiple "figure-8" shaped electrical conductors, multiple "figure-8" emulating electrical conductors, multiple sine-wave-like shaped electrical conductors, multiple zig-zag patterned electrical conductors, by multiple electrical conductors, each having sequential conductive loops, and/or a single conductor weaved into a loop mesh. The electrically conductive material may be titanium, tantalum, nitinol, stainless steel, and/or NbZr.
